The Suffolk Naturalist's Society was founded in 1929 to promote interest in Suffolk’s natural history.
By becoming a member you will be supporting the group of county recorders and by attending SNS members evenings, field
trips and recording events with those recorders can improve your own natural history skills and directly contribute to the
enormous dataset amassed by the Suffolk Biological Records Centre based at Ipswich museum.
In addition all members receive copies of the Societies two excellent and award winning publications which review the year
in wildlife terms:
In addition to these, members receive our newsletter White Admiral packed with informative
and lively articles three
times a year. All three of these publications are free to members.
Various forms of membership are available including Student, Individual, Family and Corporate.
Each is available for SNS only or as joint membership with SOG, the Suffolk Ornithologist
Group, 'The voice of Suffolk birdwatchers – an independent
birding group and registered charity, founded in 1973.
The SNS also holds biennial conferences on a wide range of natural history subjects. These
attract distinguished speakers from all over the country and are an excellent opportunity
to consider Suffolk’s biodiversity in a wider context. They provide a forum
for discussing the state of our wildlife both locally and nationally and to consider
ways in which we can promote and sustain practices that enhance our environment. A link
to videos of our last conference can be found in our main menu.
These web pages are compiled for the SNS by Adrian Chalkley.
